1-Bromo-3,3-dimethyl-2-butanol

Description:

1-Bromo-3,3-dimethyl-2-butanol is an organic compound characterized by its bromine substituent and alcohol functional group. It features a branched carbon chain, specifically a butanol structure with a bromine atom attached to the second carbon and two methyl groups on the third carbon. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic hydrocarbon portions. The presence of the bromine atom makes it a potential candidate for nucleophilic substitution reactions, while the alcohol group can participate in hydrogen bonding, influencing its reactivity and physical properties. The compound is used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of other chemical entities. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled, and appropriate measures should be taken to mitigate exposure.
